Knowledge Translation in Primary Care Initiative 2017 – 2020

The 2017 – 2020 Knowledge Translation in Primary Care Initiative (KTinPC) will focus on the development of clinical tools and resources for Ontario’s primary care providers, and explore opportunities to better support primary care providers with EMR optimization and the localization of tools, where possible.See below for the previous KTinPC Initiative.

The goals of the Knowledge Translation in Primary Care Initiative include:

The Centre for Effective Practice launched a Needs Assessment Survey in the Fall of 2014. The purpose of this survey was to engage primary care providers (specifically family physicians and primary care nurse practitioners) to determine topics of interest, how best meet their information needs and communication preferences. The results of this survey will help inform the development of clinical tools that are effective and relevant for primary care providers.

To identify clinical areas for this Initiative, a topic selection process was established. This process consisted of a number of key steps and inputs as outlined including the nomination of potential clinical topics by key stakeholders or primary care providers.

Publications and Presentations

A needs assessment survey was emailed to primary care providers in Ontario via the Ontario College of Family Physicians and the Nurse Practitioners’ Association of Ontario. The survey was available for seven weeks and 621 valid responses were received.
